Merci beaucoup Vincent! This is indeed a good workaround which does the trick.
I continue to think that "bzr help log" is contradicting the behaviour of "searching in the repository", and this help text should be amended.
For example, this in "bzr help log":
log is bzr's default tool for exploring the history of a branch.
The branch to use is taken from the first parameter. If no parameters
are given, the branch containing the working directory is logged.
Reading this suggests that when I do:
>cd some_branch; bzr log
I'm seeing the log of the branch containing the working directory - some_branch.
-r is described as filtering:
Revision filtering:
The -r option can be used to specify what revision or range of revisions
to filter against.
If -r is filtering, then "bzr log -rX" should be a subset of "bzr log". Which it isn't: actually "bzr log" will show me the branch's log, and "bzr log -rX" will show me X which it isn't in the branch - it's not a subset.
If those are not documentation problems, then what are they...
